AC Milan look to continue their Scudetto push when they welcome AS Roma to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Matchday 17 in Serie A on Sunday.
The Rossoneri closed the gap on league leaders Napoli in midweek with a 2-1 win over Salernitana, but face a sterner test against Jose Mourinho‘s Giallorossi.
Roma returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 win over over Bologna on Wednesday, and victory over Milan would boost their push for Champions League qualification.
